MacArthur also wanted to nuke Beijing. MacArthur was also a shitheel fascist.
At least he wasn't patton
Well, I would argue he was worse because of the amount of power he wielded.
MacArthur was a competent commander that represented some ideal rather than being a selfish child whose only redeeming quality is that he read the manual written by a far better tank commander
It's just that macarthurs ideal was imperialism and he was a goddamn racist fascist

He was fascist?
I know about him wanting the nuke the everloving shit out of people, but didn't know he was fascist as well.
The central Arkansas spill caused by Exxon’s aging Pegasus pipeline has reportedly unleashed 10,000 barrels of Canadian heavy crude - but a technicality says it's not oil, letting the energy giant off the hook from paying into a national cleanup fund.
Legally speaking, diluted bitumen like the heavy crude that's overrun Mayflower, Arkansas, is not classified as 'oil'. And it's that very distinction that exempts Exxon from contributing to the government's oil spillage cleanup fund.

he is making a big ole push to pad his resume for a run on congress or the governor's office in a year or two and all of his decisions are awful and they are all probably helping him
I just looked for the "post another historical fact" thread and was sad to see that it had been closed since I finally found out about the story behind this picture.
People in bear suits were apparently common sights in German tourist resorts of the 30s. The bear would run up to you and a photographer would take a picture which he'd afterwards try to sell to you.
I remember seeing this image a lot back when I played Darkfall (FFA full-loot pvp MMO), with the caption "Darkfall Online: 90% Nazi 10% Carebear".
I'd love to hear your reasoning why, though I expect it proceeds from
I've gotta get ready for work, but since you have my strict leftist perspective all figured out, I'm sure you can finish this conversation on your own. Good luck.

He was a militarist and he challenged Truman's authority multiple times during the Korean War (McArthurism refers to an ideology which holds that the military knows best). He also was one of the architects of US Cold War foreign policy and believed that it was necessary for the US to go to war with China in order to stop communism's spread in Asia. After World War II, he gave immunity to members of Japan's bacteriological research units in exchange for data gained through human experimentation and he also turned a blind eye to atrocitites committed during the Korean War. That being said, his staff did a pretty good job of transforming Japan into a stable and democratic country (which did persecute communists, though).

To expand on the last point, the United States poured billions of dollars into suppressing any sort of leftist politics and built up the Liberal Democratic Party (centre-right conservative party) into the dominant power it is today. Coincidentally, they were most amenable to a continued U.S. military presence on Japanese soil.

patton was racist too
he was anti-semitic as fuck
I forget exactly what he said about jewish refugees after the war but it was essentially that they were sub-human
anyway he died before he could cause too much damage in the postwar world so, you know, great

All elected I think, but it's unenforceable
as proof that America is the great evil that is destroying the world.

EAT IT SLACKTIVIS
oh
It's almost as though raising awareness does more than making snarky comments on the FUCK
Kony 2012 didn't do shit.
mm yes i'm certain that kony2012 "raising awareness" was what prompted this
Holy shit I hadn't seen this. Holy shit.
I then caught him browsing FreeRepublic using my internet.
Two more days and he's off my couch.
Man, I wouldn't let a body stay on a couch for two days. It's liable to stain.
